Acoustic Zen Adiago vs. ATC SCM40


Any thoughts on these speakers? Neither are sold in my town and I am desperate for input. Adiago are glowing reviewed everywhere and the ATC are well regarded as well. I have a smallish listening room (12x15) with tube pre-amp/amp. Listen to all kinds of music. Also considering the Harbeth SHL5 but they considerably more money and they would have to be twice as good to buy.

Two very different speakers. Adagios need power...they are not very efficient (87db I think). I own a pair and have used everything from 7 watt chip amps, tube amps, to 500 watt SS amps. All sound great. Great base and a very sweet highs.
It is possible that many people who post here (or any other forum for that matter) may not have English as their primary language. Also many posts, including mine, are undertaken whilst simultaneously attending to other tasks. Hence the occasional mistakes in spelling or even momentarily substituting one similar word for another. To most readers, this is common sense. But to make this apparent in a post, where you are not adding to the overall intended purpose of the post, is more of an egregious "sin" than a simple error. It amounts to outright douchbaggery.
I added with my initial comment...you did see it didn’t you? Obviously you did because YOUR initial comment was the successor to the original douchbaggery. I suggest to you, if you're going to go for the gusto...be number one at least. Also, if you think that dates define ones past here at the gon...you're unfortunately attributing to your own douchbaggery. I can't help you there.
